Re: Videos not playing in Lumia 535

Hmm, not sure. Try this, in Internet Explorer, hit the three dot menu in the lower right corner (...) and click settings, switch your website preference from "desktop version" to "mobile version" or vice versa..

Also, if you're using the desktop version of Facebook, try the mobile version, or the official app. If that doesn't help, try the Facebook Beta app. Honestly I haven't had any issues with playing videos from either one. Let us know if you have any luck!
